Morning all!
Wonder if @Sean L will have been shoveled out today yet? Hope he’s had power and enjoyed his snow day.

The headline is kind of click bait. I started reading the actual article. It's quite lengthy. Bottom line is that they are doing some serious research to try and figure out what is going on, but the end of the world is not at our doorstep.

I feel like we'll never pinpoint the exact event (aside from a volcanic eruption, meteor strike, nuclear war, etc.) that will tip us over the edge. Like how a frog will get boiled alive in a pot if you bring the water up to temperature slowly, one day, humanity will wake up and discover that we can't live on this planet anymore.

Good morning.

So, made the mistake of showing up in the field for a half day prior to my drive upstate...

Me: (arrives) "I'm heading upstate today, I want to be out of here by 1PM the latest."
RE: "Great that you're here. I have a meeting I have to go to this afternoon. Put your eight hours in and just head up this evening."
Me: "Well, I wanted to avoid traffic..."
RE: "Nah, just put a full day in first."
Me: (inside)

Noooooo.

Yep, today's gonna be a long day.

I wonder if @Sean L is buried in the white stuff..... Did they close the state?

Yep, we were closed for a few days.

Morning Sean!
Did you enjoy your winter wonderland?

well my neighborhood has not been snowplowed yet. It's because we're a blue collar predominately Latino neighborhood a side street.

Using 4Hi I'm able to get out on to the main road pretty easily.

Morning Sean!
Did you enjoy your winter wonderland?

Yes, it was nice. I'll post some pictures once I've caught up.

Ah yes, discrimination takes all forms. It's why they plow the Upper East Side first.

Do you have any photos at least?

That worked in my favor as a kid. School bus would sometimes run on "plowed roads only". I lived on a dead-end road way out in the middle of nowhere. We were the last to get plowed. (Never mind that my parents had 4x4 and went to work...)

Here we go, This is Sunday afternoon when the snow stopped enough to venture outside... You can see in the background my neighbor's van in the ditch. (made it one house down)

Undisturbed snow, before the tennis ball was thrown out there and Charlie got to romp around.

Charlie had a blast in the snow!

Charlie trying to fight against naptime after his snow romp.

Unfortunately, one of our historic buildings collapsed due to the storm. This was the Nissen Wagon Works building that predated the merger of Winston and Salem into one city.

After cleaning her off and making it to work this morning.

Awesome except for the loss of the historic building.

Yep, its very disappointing. It might not have had the best upkeep I'm afraid. Since the Nissen corporate office building has long since been converted to apartments and horse drawn wagons have been obsolete for well over a century... I'm not sure who owns that building.

BTW, the pic was taken from my Jeep, right after it happened.
